I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but from my pov the quality of the service has gone down. Uber started paying drivers less. Drivers left. Uber is now less aggressive when it comes to taking drivers off the app. Now, Uber costs the same as a taxi, or more, and is just as shitty as taxis.

The nyc medallion system needed disruption, sure, but I’m not sure if the current state is a net benefit to very many people, excepting some entrepreneurs who made the right bets.
